A businessman is interviewing applicants for the position of divisional
manager. He devises a simple test to select the most suitable candidate
for the job. He asks each applicant the question, "What is two and two?"
The first applicant is a journalist. His answer is "twenty-two."
The second applicant is an engineer. He pulls out a calculator and shows
the answer to be between 3.999 and 4.001.
The next person is a lawyer. He states that in the case of Jenkins v.
Simpson, two and two was proven to be four.
The last applicant is an accountant. The businessman asks him,
"How much is two and two?" The accountant gets up from his chair goes
over to the door and closes it. After sitting down he leans across the
desk and asks, "How much do you want it to be?"
He got the job.
